Prayer of Release ( for John )

Lord, let me lie in pastures of forgetfulness,
For the world is too much with me,
And I care even less,
This life that you have given,
Has stripped me to the bone,
Robbing me of sanity, leaving me alone,
And Lord do I grow weary,
Of the small affairs of men,
For the world is too much with me,
And I long to sleep     Amen.

reading this make me feel so sad, you send up a prayer, so that you would release.
Don't give up, behold your faith, even when it is hard to do, and believe me....I was there too...have faith my dear.....

Charisma and Irish Rose, Thank you both for your kind sentiments, I wrote this poem for a friend of mine who is dying from cancer. It is how he feels every day, and rightly or wrongly I was trying to explore his pain and in so doing ease my grief. I will certainly pass on your kind and thoughtfull words, to a man who deserves them much more than I.

Regards and Thanks
Olias

I wish the best for your friend and for you too.  I know it is not easy to watch a friend in pain.

This is sadly tender. I liked it. I will keep you and your friend in my thoughts.
